This also reverts some changes to TLS that were leaking memory.

A task without an unwinder will abort the process on failure.
I'm using this in the runtime tests to guarantee that a call to
`assert!` actually triggers some kind of failure (an abort)
instead of silently doing nothing. This is essentially in lieu
of a working linked failure implementation.
Things like the GC heap and unwinding are desirable everywhere the language
might be used, not just in tasks. All Rust code should have access to
LocalServices.
It will check which scheduler it is running under and create the
correct type of task as appropriate. Most options aren't supported
but basic spawning works.
This is just a bunch of minor changes and simplifications to the structure of core::rt. It makes ownership of the ~Scheduler more strict (though it is still mutably aliased sometimes), turns the scheduler cleanup_jobs vector into just a single job, shunts the thread-local scheduler code off to its own file.

This doesn't completely fix the x86 ABI for structs, but it does fix some cases. On linux, structs appear to be returned correctly now. On windows, structs are only returned by pointer when they are greater than 8 bytes. That scenario works now.
In the case where the struct is less than 8 bytes our generated code looks peculiar. When returning a pair of u16, C packs both variables into %eax to return them. Our generated code though expects to find one of the pair in %ax and the other in %dx. Similar for u8. I haven't looked into it yet.
There appears to also be struct passing problems on linux, where my `extern-pass-TwoU8s` and `extern-pass-TwoU16s` tests are failing.
This Adds a bunch of tests for passing and returning structs
of various sizes to C. It fixes the struct return rules on unix,
and on windows for structs of size > 8 bytes. Struct passing
on unix for structs under a certain size appears to still be broken.
In order to do a context switch you have to give up ownership of the scheduler,
effectively passing it to the next execution context. This could help avoid
some situations here tasks retain unsafe pointers to schedulers between context
switches, across which they may have changed threads.
There are still a number of uses of unsafe scheduler pointers.
